Though man
amethyst wedding rings are not as common as mens diamond, sapphire or ruby
wedding rings, there are many features that make amethyst a great choice for a
mens wedding ring. Known for a few thousand years, amethyst as a gem has never
really seen a drop in popularity. The Egyptians gave amethyst the status of a
royal gemstone, the pope and Vatican have also been associated with amethyst
since the sixteenth century. Amethyst figures on the 12 gems studded in Aaron's
breat plate too. Many historians associate the existence of Amethyst on the
breast plate, to the designation of the gemstone as a birthstone. For men born in the month of February,
an amethyst mens wedding ring would have additional significance. The trend
towards setting birthstones in wedding rings has never been stronger than it is
today.

While we do
not attribute any supernatural powers to our gemstones the fact remains that, a
huge demand for gemstone jewelry is generated by people who believe in the
metaphysical powers of gemstones. If you wish to know what special properties
are associated with the gemstone in a mens amethyst wedding ring, here is a
brief summary. Crystal healers often use a bed amethyst gems to cleanse other
gemstones, the powers of amethyst allow many stones to be cleansed in a single
session. The tradition of Chakras might have originated in Asia but, the belief
has today spread across the globe. Amethyst is related to the crown third eye
chakra, it thus gets a prominent position right on the head. Crystal theraphy
believers rely on amethyst to bring a balance in life, the gem is a favorite for
meditation and is believed to have the capability of absorbing negativity. The
practice of feng shui has gained respect in western nations too, amethyst is
actively used to get many desirable effects in feng shui.

What we have
talked about amethyst wedding rings for men above, is largely based on tradition
and belief. We will now analyze this gemstone in terms of it's physical
properties. This will allow you to understand why, this is a fine gemstone for
a man wedding ring.

Amethyst Color: Though amethyst can be grouped in
three color shades of purple namely, light, medium and dark, it is the medium to
dark color amethyst that most men prefer. The color of this gemstone is such
that, you will never have to worry about your man amethyst wedding ring
appearing dainty or feminine. The interesting thing is that amethyst has a gem
color that impresses both men and ladies. If you plan to get a custom man
wedding ring with amethyst, request for an image with the gem color shade that
you would be getting. While we would not suggest that you go for a pale purple
gem for your mens amethyst ring, get an idea of the color if you plan to pick
such a gem.

Metal Color: Restricting your gem selection to a
medium or dark purple amethyst would give you a gem that, looks great in all
metal colors. If your amethyst man wedding ring is made in gold, yellow or white
gold are the most popular options. Though pink or rose gold mens rings are not
very common, we do provide that gold color option for all our custom jewelry.
Silver is basically a white metal and would do full justice to the impressive
color of an amethyst gemstone. Some design concepts for a man wedding ring can
be crafted with a two tone gold color, these rings would have absolutely no
problem since the amethyst stone could be mounted in either the white gold or
yellow gold portion.

Metal Suitability: The suitability of a gemstone to
a specific metal could be determined by a number of factors. Most mens amethyst
wedding rings would be made in gold or 925 sterling silver. Amethyst is a
gemstone that is not affected by water, soaps or even jewelry polishing lotions
and fabrics. If you were to choose a mens silver wedding ring with amethyst, it
is expected that the ring would tarnish. Cleaning tarnished silver jewelry is
both easy and convenient today, just ensure that you clean your mens silver
amethyst ring just as the tarnish begins to set on the jewel. If you plan to do
a rhodium or gold plating on your silver man amethyst wedding ring, you should
know that any type of plating done on silver will wear off after a while. For a
mens gold amethyst wedding ring, you could choose a 14k or 18k ring - white,
yellow or rose would be the gold colors for you to choose from.

Gem Durability: Since the fact that men are not
very careful when wearing or storing their jewelry is no secret, we need to know
whether amethyst is durable enough for a man wedding ring. Amethyst belongs to
the quartz family, the gem would have been formed a few million years ago. It
can withstand most elements that you would encounter in a normal household. An
above average hardness rating of 7 out of 10, ensures that you need not give too
much attention to the gem. Standard jewelry cleaning processes used to clean,
gold or sterling silver jewelry can be safely used to clean your mens amethyst
wedding ring. A few basics here, do not let your amethyst mens ring get banged
against hard objects or surfaces. A ring design where the gem protrudes far
above the face of the ring, increases the chances of the gem being hit by
physical impact.

Gem Price: What we have so far talked about
amethyst, is true and factual - there is no sales pitch to convince you to buy a
mens amethyst wedding ring. With all these positive features you might expect
the gemstone to carry a stiff price tag, fortunately that is not true. As
amethyst is not a very rare gemstone and supply is supported by mining in
various countries, this gemstone is moderately priced. You could not say that
medium to dark color amethyst gems are cheap but, they surely are not very
expensive either. This is good news for those of who you wish to buy a mens
amethyst ring for casual wear or as a wedding ring. Mens rings generally rely on
larger gems, in the 3 to 5 carat size range. Fine gem quality amethyst stones
can be found in these sizes, just make sure that you find the right source for
your ring. Just to give you a price comparison, a 4 carat good quality amethyst
stone could be purchased in retail for around 100 U.S$, a medium quality blue
sapphire in that size would cost you more than 2,000 U.S$.
